First Week!

Tree in the reservoir as the sun goes behind it. Village of JesusMaria. We had a children's service here with songs and a puppet show!
A woman at La Laja getting baptized!!! yeah!!! It was so hard for her because she was old and she didn't want to sit down in the water because she was afraid, so many people stood around her and held her and took their time before dunking her under! What an act of obedience to the Lord!!! Amen!
Century plant... looks like an evil aloe vera cactus! IT'S HUGE.
This is a village, I'm sorry I can't remember the name right now. It was very small and we had a children's service there and then preaching. It rained like crazy! The mountains were beautiful and our elevation was around 8000 ft.
Painting on the wall at the missionary training school, or DMT, at La Haciendita. Jesus Saves!
The beginning of the mountain drive to Dr. Arroyo. Breathtakingly beautiful! The Rocky Mountains extend into Mexico. They're so steep and very different from the Smokies.
The church at Dr. Arroyo where we have devotionals, praise & worship, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and pretty much everything else. It's on the grounds where we stay in Dr. Arroyo.
My new "amigo" Caleb! He puts his arm around my waist wherever we go :-) hahaha He'll be 7 this Sunday! (6.14)
Part of the crew leading children's worship in Spanish at JesusMaria.


So I'm trying to put a video on here, hopefully you'll be able to watch it. In the village I can't remember the name of, it came a downpour on us twice so we moved into the tiny one room church and the pastor from Tuscumbia, MO preached over the sound of the rain on the tin roof while Joel, one of the full-time missionaries here, translated. It was so loud! I don't know how the video will turn out though.
